A/N: shit's going down.

You couldn't believe what they did. They just let Medusa go especially after everything that she did. Not only that, but professor stein had gone missing and you couldn't find her anywhere especially not with Asura's madness nearly spreading over the entire world. Right now you were with Maka who couldn't sleep. The television is on, but local programming has ended for the day. She was curled up on the couch in the dark, Maka's mother's postcard on the table. She couldn't make sense of recent events:

Maka's mind: why would Death make a truce with Medusa Gorgon to allow her escape, yet Crona remains imprisoned by the DWMA in relation to Medusa's crimes?

(as far as she knows).

Maka's mind: "sigh" I guess the only thing we can do for now is just to focus on stopping Arachnophobia from spreading Asura's madness further. But, I'm not even sure whether if I can even trust the DWMA in light of their recent actions.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her mother's postcard, and Soul Eater exiting his bedroom.

Soul: trouble sleeping?

(Y/N): yep. Can't say I blame her either.

Maka: leave her alone soul.

He turns away from her, removes milk from the refrigerator, and drinks from the carton.

Soul: you should sleep to prepare for tomorrow's difficult mission.

Maka:.................do you think whether the DWMA is doing the right thing, in light of Crona's imprisonment, Death the Kid's warning and the organization's halted search for Professor Stein?

Soul: I have no idea. I only know as much as you do right now.

Maka gets a little Irritated.

Soul: only sleep is going to help for now, not moping in the dark won't.

Maka: "sigh".....................

(TimeSkip).

Screens throughout the Academy project a feed from the Death Room, as Spirit Albarn gives preliminary instructions for defeating Asura and Arachnophobia before turning over the discussion to Death himself. Spirit continues.

Spirit: the first step is stopping Asura, then the machines transmitting his madness, and finally Arachne. the DWMA is providing Madness Suppressants, distributed to students by the Infirmary.

As Maka listens to her father in Class Crescent Moon alongside Black Star, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, Liz Thompson,Patty Thompson, and you she thinks he and the DWMA are liars, turning their backs on their real mission. If the DWMA will not hold to their mission statement, then she will follow along passively. Spirit turns over discussion to Death, the eyeholes in his mask glowering, his voice deep.

Death: Students!.....

The Students wait nervously for his response-only for Death to return to his high-pitched voice.

Death:....I wish good luck and a great victory!

Spirit is underwhelmed but continues with instructions to go to Baba Yaga Castle. While her classmates mill around the Madness Suppressant carts, Maka stops listening to her father and storms out of the room, slamming the door behind her you soon followed after her while Tsubaki watches. In the hallway, You and Maka encountered Sid Barrett. She couldn't face him.

Maka: What happened to Crona?

Coming up the stairs, Soul sees Maka and Sid, but he hides at the stairs to overhear.

Sid: Crona has been exiled from the DWMA, a punishment I consider lenient for a traitor.

Maka: where will Crona go?

Sid:..........when I was alive, I could keep secrets, even as I did inadvertently make mistakes from time to time. Crona left with Marie Mjolnir, who had resigned from the Academy, to fight Medusa Gorgon and rescue Stein.

(Y/N): what?

Maka was shaken from this.

Sid: don't worry, Marie will protect Crona, but for now you should focus on using your Anti-Demon Wavelength for your own mission Maka.

As Sid departs, Soul is irritated: he thinks this solution by so-called "adults" is insufficient.

(Y/N)'s mind: "sigh" if things keep getting worse I might haft to call goku and Vegeta.

(TimeSkip).

Right now, you and the others were in the amazon under a big tree heading to Baba Yaga Castle. But during this Maka started to think about Crona, blushing and smiling at her. She finally releases the tension on her fist and exhales.

Maka: I find it amusing that my dad to choose my friends wisely, and instead I associates with a rule-breaker like Soul.

You and soul smirked at that remark.

Maka: blackstar, I'm leaving you and Tsubaki to fight Arachnophobia. 

As Maka and Soul depart, Black Star expresses confusion.

BlackStar:..................despite breaking rules..............she's still the perfect student. Tsubaki smiles in response. Maka ran while you flew.

Maka: don't worry I promise I'll find you Crona.

A/N: more sadness will come under way in the next chapter.
